Calculus With Applications for the Life Sciences was written for the one- or two-semester applied calculus course for life science students with a focus on incorporating interesting, relevant, and realistic applications. This text includes many citations from current data sources. It also offers many opportunities for use of technology, allowing for increased visualization and a better understanding of difficult concepts.

Features:

Clarity through color. The text features a full color format for excellent readability and understanding.

Variety of Applications--with real data from current sources, applied exercises are grouped by subject and highlighted for easy identification.

Extended Applications--These applications appear at end of most chapters and can be used for extra credit, class projects, and group work.

Excel Spreadsheets have been included in examples and exercises as appropriate allowing students to work problems that closely relate to real life situations.

Optional Graphing Calculator Integration. Graphing calculator discussions and TI-83 screens are used in many examples. This book offers many opportunities for use of a graphing calculator, though technology use remains strictly optional.

Writing Exercises. Includes exercises requiring writing and conceptualization to promote critical thinking, deeper understanding, and to integrate concepts and skills.
